Donation Information:
Toy donations to our Toy Depot are now open and gratefully received! In addition to the core standard “must have” toys we always need which are listed on the sidebar, we added a great Blog with details and links to all the latest must have toys! Check out our Blog here!
Financial donations are needed year round to support our Hamper program. In 2022, our Hamper Program provided almost $200,000 in grocery vouchers to families in need. Please consider supporing this essential program with a one time gift or make a monthly donation via the Donate Now link at the bottom of the page. Thank you so much!
If a financial donation is not possible at this time, please keep in mind that from time to time we also need help in practical matters such as trucking, the loan of equipment, web site development etc. If you or your company has resources that you think could be helpful to our work, please get in touch!
